Yes much better. Perhaps I can risk doing a review on the site, rather than have to cut and paste from an editor.
If folk do have security concerns, the CAMC could always adopt the approach they have taken on the sites app. There I seem to remain permanently logged in for things like details of CL's, but if I want to see my bookings, have to renter login details.
So CT could remain permanently logged in, as could general browsing of CL's or leaving a review, but you would have to re enter your details to make a booking etc.

In the unlikely event of anyone getting hold of my iPad and managing to guess the four digit unlock pin, for which you only get three goes.
If they got in I suppose they could cancel or make bookings, of which I would be informed by email, plus of course post as me on CT.
I can't say any of the above are going to worry me greatly. I am much more concerned about other accesses it provides, such as on line banking. However, these are protected by passwords that automatically disconnect and are not saved on the device.

Posted on 29/10/2017 08:46 by brueIn the FAQ section about using the site, the club states:
"For data security reasons, users will be automatically logged out of the web site after 30 minutes."
"This is to protect your account information should you forget to log out."

So you are able to log out then? I got the impression you were unable to log out. The web site is retaining my log in details, password and email, but I did not tick the box to retain them, it remains unticked. This speeds up logging in but I have not requested this.

The remember my details tick box within the site, never seems to have worked. Most browsers have there own facilities. Safari on the iPad gives you a range of options from never, to always. Chrome on my windows lap top similar. If it is logging in just by clicking on it, perhaps such a box has been ticked. On mine the email and password are bright yellow, to show they have been auto filled. If it is autofilling and it has never been requested, rather than just staying logged on, that is a significant fault.

On sites which have a 'Remember My Details' tick box I have never known one that will store more than your user name.
I let Google Chrome store my username and log in details so that when I click in the username it supplies the username prompt and if I click on that automatically fills in the password. I very much doubt that the forum is storing your password Brue. I suspect that it is something that you have clicked in your browser if the info is stored.

This is what is happening on my laptop, autofill without request, the tick box is empty, I haven't agreed to autofill/remember me etc. Why would this happen on the club site only, my browser isn't set to remember passwords etc. This is not a facility I would normally use, it's something I would choose individually for each web site. (Apologies several edits!)
